Xlr8r announce Max Cooper's 'Chromos EP'

Chromos follows on from his extensive Emergence project and
sees the Belfast-born artist continuing to explore the symbiosis of music and
science with visual representations of data.

The opening tracks, "Chromos" and "Coils of
Living Synthesis," are beautifully delicate soundscapes of organic life
inspired by genetic research undertaken at the Babraham Institute. The former
also features an accompanying VR video by long-time collaborator Andy Lomas,
the production of which used a simulated model for predicting what DNA looks
like inside a cell.

Distant chords and subtle glitches emerge from a hypnotic
groove in "Molten Landscapes," while "Four Tone
Reflections" builds a vast sonic spectrum over 12 minutes. For the
"Chromos" remix, Cosmin TRG turns the fragility of the original into
a warped techno cut.

Mikhail Spivakov, Research Group Leader at the Babraham
Institute, spoke on the collaboration:

"As a biologist. I am passionate to find ways to make our
science more accessible, to help people understand what we do and why we do it.
It was amazing to see how the project took real data from the lab and turned it
into a multidimensional experience which allows people to get more closely
acquainted with our DNA, what it does and how it looks, making it almost palpable."
